Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✓

  Step 1: Create a storage account with Standard performance and Locally-redundant storage. Step 2: On the Advanced tab, enable hierarchical namespace for Data Lake Storage Gen2. Step 3: Configure networking and data protection settings. Step 4: Review the configuration and create the storage account.

  Why this is correct

  This order is correct because the hierarchical namespace must be enabled during the creation of the storage account, and the Advanced tab is accessed after setting up the basics. Networking and data protection settings can be configured after enabling the feature, and the final step is to review and create.

• ✗

  Step 1: On the Advanced tab, enable hierarchical namespace. Step 2: Create a storage account with Standard performance and Locally-redundant storage. Step 3: Configure networking and data protection settings. Step 4: Review and create.

  Why it's wrong here

  This order is invalid because the Advanced tab is part of the storage account creation wizard, not a standalone screen. You must first begin the creation process by selecting a subscription, resource group, storage account name, region, performance tier, and redundancy option before the Advanced tab is even accessible. Enabling hierarchical namespace (Data Lake Storage Gen2) is a feature toggle that can only be set during this creation workflow; there is no way to enable it on a non-existent account or prior to provisioning the account itself. Therefore, Step 1 here is logically impossible and the sequence fails from the start.

• ✗

  Step 1: Create a storage account with Standard performance and Locally-redundant storage. Step 2: Configure networking and data protection settings. Step 3: On the Advanced tab, enable hierarchical namespace. Step 4: Review and create.

  Why it's wrong here

  This order is incorrect because the hierarchical namespace must be enabled before configuring other settings like networking or data protection. In the creation wizard, the Advanced tab comes before Networking and Data protection tabs, so enabling the feature should occur before those settings.

• ✗

  Step 1: Create a storage account with Standard performance and Locally-redundant storage. Step 2: On the Advanced tab, enable hierarchical namespace. Step 3: Review and create. Step 4: Configure networking and data protection settings.

  Why it's wrong here

  This order is incorrect because configuring networking and data protection settings should not be skipped until after creation. Those settings are part of the creation wizard and must be configured before reviewing and creating the storage account.
